Bankera is digital bank. “Banking for the Blockchain Era”. They have officially acquired PacificPrivate Bank.
Pacific Private Bank was founded in 1997 and has over 21 years of experience, specializing in asset and wealth management services for private clients.
Bankera's team will empower the Pacific Private Bank with bank-level blockchain technology. In order to do so, one of the first steps to be done is to connect the Pacific Private Bank to the Ripple network
Bankera is dedicated to building a fully digital bank without the costly limitations of physical branches that will one day represent a single destination for a complete range of financial services. It operates as a fork of SpectroCoin, which has a bank-like infrastructure with more than 700,000 clients and five years of maturity in the cryptocurrency market.
With this technological strength, Bankera will augment Pacific Private Bank with bank-level blockchain tech, beginning with a first step of connecting the bank to the Ripple network, simultaneously facilitating cross-border, low cost and ultra quick transactions together with sophisticated blockchain-based identity management and KYC/AML solutions for client onboarding. Ripple has already received the attentions of global banking leaders such as UBS, UniCredit, Santander and Standard Chartered.

In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

10. BaliceauxIsland
Baliceaux is part of the Grenadine island chain and is more than just a hideaway for wealthy types. Covering 320 acres, it features a range of undeveloped natural terrain, such as beaches, meadows and things that have remained untouched since the days of Blackbeard the pirate!
9. Castaway Cay
Castaway Cay is an interesting island, because although it’s a beautiful little patch of land in the Bahamas it’s also owned by the Walt Disney Company. This means while there are lots of fascinating local features, you’re also very much in a tourist resort. And you know everything will be perfectly manicured and taken care of for you!!
8. Diamond Cay
If you’re wondering what “cay” means by the way, it’s another term for a bank or reef made of rock, sand or coral. Cays are very attractive to the rich for their privacy!! Which brings us to Diamond Cay, a 1.40 acre island located in the Caribbean BritishVirgin Islands. Actually it’s not so much an island as an “islet” which makes it sound kinda cute.The cay is a bird sanctuary and was designated as a national park in 1991.
7. Emerald Cay
Located in the Turks and Caicos islands on the warmer side of the Atlantic Ocean, is Emerald Cay. This private island, which covers around 2 acres, was developed over 6 years into a modern estate. This place is surrounded by tropical luxury and high tech, a pretty awesome combination!!
6. Entalula Island
While number 5 probably made you feel jealous, you might feel a little better with this next one because while it’s a private island, there is a section that’s open to the public. So people without an eye-watering bank balance can enjoy the views also.
5. Guana IslandOkay so all these islands are really expensive as you might expect. Buying one might be out of your budget, but what about hiring a private island? That sounds like a better option, right??
4. Lyford Cay, BahamaSometimes it seems like the people who live on private islands have it all. Beautiful houses, great views and of course an exclusive level of privacy not given to mere mortals such as you and me.
3. Motukawaiti Island
This 93 acre natural wonder is part of the Cavalli Islands which are found in NorthernNew Zealand.It’s sadly been tied up in various legal wranglings over the years but hopefully has a bright future ahead of it after being marketed for a cool $16 million last year.
2. Sofitel Bora BoraPrivate Island
This little slice of paradise is tucked away in the South Pacific, part of the famous Bora Bora region. Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island is called a “motu”, meaning that it’s small.
1. Turtle Island, Fiji
It’s said the friendliest private island out there is Turtle Island. The 500 acre Fijian getaway was the brainchild of businessman Richard Evanson who turned the old place from a hangout for goats to a couples’ resort in the 1970s.

SGPB Hambros's chief investment officer, Eric Verleyen, explains to economics editor Silvia Pavoni why now is the time to look for equity opportunities in Europe and how currency wars are affecting various markets around the world.

Overview

Private banking is the way banking originated. The first banks in Venice were focused on managing personal finance for wealthy families. Private banks became known as ‘Private’ to stand out from the retail banking & savings banks aimed at the new middle class. Traditionally, private banks were linked to families for several generations. They often advised and performed all financial & banking services for families. Historically, private banking has developed in Europe (see the List of private banks). Some banks in Europe are known for managing assets of some royal families. The assets of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein are managed by LGT Group (founded in 1920 and originally known as The Liechtenstein Global Trust). The assets of the Dutch royal family are managed by MeesPierson (founded in 1720). The assets of the British Royal Family are managed by Coutts (founded in 1692).

Private wealth management

Private wealth management is delivered to high-net-worth investors. Generally this includes advice on the use of various estate planning vehicles, business-succession or stock-option planning, and the occasional use of hedging derivatives for large blocks of stock.

The station is connected to Central Station by two tunnels. The walk between the two stations typically takes three to six minutes. The tunnels, which cross under Connaught Road Central, are equipped with moving walkways. The station, retail mall, pedestrian tunnels, footbridges and masterplan for the IFC development were all designed by Arup Associates (Hong Kong Office) in collaboration with Rocco Design Architects Limited, Ove Arup & Partners, and Meinhardt.

Union Pacific Railroad

The Union Pacific Railroad(reporting markUP) is a Class I line haul freight railroad that operates nearly 8,500 locomotives over 32,000 route-miles in 23 states west of Chicago, Illinois and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Union Pacific Railroad network is the largest in the United States and is serviced by more than 47,000 employees.

Union Pacific Corporation's main competitor is the BNSF Railway, the nation's second largest freight railroad, which also primarily services the Continental U.S. west of the Mississippi River. Together, the two railroads have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the U.S.

Blurb

The 1862 Pacific Railroad Act signed by President Lincoln authorizes pushing the Union Pacific Railroad westward across the wilderness toward California, but financial opportunist Asa Barrows hopes to profit from obstructing it. Chief troubleshooter Jeff Butler has his hands full fighting Barrows' agent, gambler Sid Campeau. Campeau's partner Dick Allen is Jeff's war buddy and rival suitor for engineer's daughter Molly Monahan. Who will survive the effort to push the railroad through at any cost?

Historical context

Union Pacific was released in 1939 two months after John Ford's Stagecoach, which film historians consider responsible for transforming the Hollywood Western from "a mostly low budget, B film affair." Wheeler M. Dixon, for example, notes that after the appearance of these two films (Union Pacific and Stagecoach), the western was “something worthy of adult attention and serious criticism, and therefore a yardstick against which all westerns have been subsequently measured”.

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

10. BaliceauxIsland
Baliceaux is part of the Grenadine island chain and is more than just a hideaway for wealthy types. Covering 320 acres, it features a range of undeveloped natural terrain, such as beaches, meadows and things that have remained untouched since the days of Blackbeard the pirate!
9. Castaway Cay
Castaway Cay is an interesting island, because although it’s a beautiful little patch of land in the Bahamas it’s also owned by the Walt Disney Company. This means while there are lots of fascinating local features, you’re also very much in a tourist resort. And you know everything will be perfectly manicured and taken care of for you!!
8. Diamond Cay
If you’re wondering what “cay” means by the way, it’s another term for a bank or reef made of rock, sand or coral. Cays are very attractive to the rich for their privacy!! Which brings us to Diamond Cay, a 1.40 acre island located in the Caribbean BritishVirgin Islands. Actually it’s not so much an island as an “islet” which makes it sound kinda cute.The cay is a bird sanctuary and was designated as a national park in 1991.
7. Emerald Cay
Located in the Turks and Caicos islands on the warmer side of the Atlantic Ocean, is Emerald Cay. This private island, which covers around 2 acres, was developed over 6 years into a modern estate. This place is surrounded by tropical luxury and high tech, a pretty awesome combination!!
6. Entalula Island
While number 5 probably made you feel jealous, you might feel a little better with this next one because while it’s a private island, there is a section that’s open to the public. So people without an eye-watering bank balance can enjoy the views also.
5. Guana IslandOkay so all these islands are really expensive as you might expect. Buying one might be out of your budget, but what about hiring a private island? That sounds like a better option, right??
4. Lyford Cay, BahamaSometimes it seems like the people who live on private islands have it all. Beautiful houses, great views and of course an exclusive level of privacy not given to mere mortals such as you and me.
3. Motukawaiti Island
This 93 acre natural wonder is part of the Cavalli Islands which are found in NorthernNew Zealand.It’s sadly been tied up in various legal wranglings over the years but hopefully has a bright future ahead of it after being marketed for a cool $16 million last year.
2. Sofitel Bora BoraPrivate Island
This little slice of paradise is tucked away in the South Pacific, part of the famous Bora Bora region. Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island is called a “motu”, meaning that it’s small.
1. Turtle Island, Fiji
It’s said the friendliest private island out there is Turtle Island. The 500 acre Fijian getaway was the brainchild of businessman Richard Evanson who turned the old place from a hangout for goats to a couples’ resort in the 1970s.
Origins Explained is the place to be to find all the answers to your questions, from mysterious events and unsolved mysteries to everything there is to know about the world and its amazing animals!

Why Private Investment Works & Govt. Investment Doesn't

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

10. BaliceauxIsland
Baliceaux is part of the Grenadine island chain and is more than just a hideaway for wealthy types. Covering 320 acres, it features a range of undeveloped natural terrain, such as beaches, meadows and things that have remained untouched since the days of Blackbeard the pirate!
9. Castaway Cay
Castaway Cay is an interesting island, because although it’s a beautiful little patch of land in the Bahamas it’s also owned by the Walt Disney Company. This means while there are lots of fascinating local features, you’re also very much in a tourist resort. And you know everything will be perfectly manicured and taken care of for you!!
8. Diamond Cay
If you’re wondering what “cay” means by the way, it’s another term for a bank or reef made of rock, sand or coral. Cays are very attractive to the rich for their privacy!! Which brings us to Diamond Cay, a 1.40 acre island located in the Caribbean BritishVirgin Islands. Actually it’s not so much an island as an “islet” which makes it sound kinda cute.The cay is a bird sanctuary and was designated as a national park in 1991.
7. Emerald Cay
Located in the Turks and Caicos islands on the warmer side of the Atlantic Ocean, is Emerald Cay. This private island, which covers around 2 acres, was developed over 6 years into a modern estate. This place is surrounded by tropical luxury and high tech, a pretty awesome combination!!
6. Entalula Island
While number 5 probably made you feel jealous, you might feel a little better with this next one because while it’s a private island, there is a section that’s open to the public. So people without an eye-watering bank balance can enjoy the views also.
5. Guana IslandOkay so all these islands are really expensive as you might expect. Buying one might be out of your budget, but what about hiring a private island? That sounds like a better option, right??
4. Lyford Cay, BahamaSometimes it seems like the people who live on private islands have it all. Beautiful houses, great views and of course an exclusive level of privacy not given to mere mortals such as you and me.
3. Motukawaiti Island
This 93 acre natural wonder is part of the Cavalli Islands which are found in NorthernNew Zealand.It’s sadly been tied up in various legal wranglings over the years but hopefully has a bright future ahead of it after being marketed for a cool $16 million last year.
2. Sofitel Bora BoraPrivate Island
This little slice of paradise is tucked away in the South Pacific, part of the famous Bora Bora region. Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island is called a “motu”, meaning that it’s small.
1. Turtle Island, Fiji
It’s said the friendliest private island out there is Turtle Island. The 500 acre Fijian getaway was the brainchild of businessman Richard Evanson who turned the old place from a hangout for goats to a couples’ resort in the 1970s.

SGPB Hambros's chief investment officer, Eric Verleyen, explains to economics editor Silvia Pavoni why now is the time to look for equity opportunities in Europe and how currency wars are affecting various markets around the world.

Overview

Private banking is the way banking originated. The first banks in Venice were focused on managing personal finance for wealthy families. Private banks became known as ‘Private’ to stand out from the retail banking & savings banks aimed at the new middle class. Traditionally, private banks were linked to families for several generations. They often advised and performed all financial & banking services for families. Historically, private banking has developed in Europe (see the List of private banks). Some banks in Europe are known for managing assets of some royal families. The assets of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein are managed by LGT Group (founded in 1920 and originally known as The Liechtenstein Global Trust). The assets of the Dutch royal family are managed by MeesPierson (founded in 1720). The assets of the British Royal Family are managed by Coutts (founded in 1692).
